Angmar is … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least seven bands/projects with the name Angmar.
Angmar is a realm in the northern part of the Misty Mountains in the north of Middle-Earth, which is being ruled by the king of the Nazgûl in J.R.R. Tolkien's works.
Also Angmar means "house of iron" in Sindarin, an Elvish language created by Tolkien.
1) The first are Finns, who started the project from 1994/1995 and changed band's name to Angmar in 1997. They released two demos - Valonsurma and Planet Satan, splits with Tenebrosus and The True Endless, and the album Razorblade Redemption (2003). The band members took part in another project Enchanted by Dawn and now play also for the death/trash band Enormity.

The band is formed in 2007 and their first demo is recorded in 2009 called "Tales of Arda" - 6 songs with a duration of less than 30 minutes.

Angmar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Their wings were borne by the northern wind
The storms had foreshadowed their arriving
Here were the Vikings.
This was the Normain Invasion !
They're borned from cold in the farnorth
They lived without caring for tomorrow
Plain, my plain
When you are covered by blood
The thrump of their steps as heavy as metal
Sounded as loudly as thunder
Following the signs of their gods.
They've given their name to our country
They've won it with bloodshed,
conquered by fire and sword.
They've given their name to our country,
They've won it by strength and brutality
Everyone was caged in fright
No one dared to meet their eyes.
Everyone had shivers down their spines ,
In their eyes you could read you would die
Plain, my plain
After battles full of lights
Century after century
No ones can corrupt, corrupt them
Fighting was the last reason to live
Giving to your life a real meaning
The lyrics of Angmar's song "Normannia" describe the invasion of Normandy by the Vikings, who are portrayed as fierce and relentless warriors. The song begins by evoking images of the dragons, who are symbolic of the Vikings themselves, flying over the seas, carried by the northern winds. The Vikings are seen as harbingers of a storm, and indeed they arrived amidst violent storms, signaling the beginning of a new era.
As the song progresses, it highlights the brutal nature of the Vikings, who lived without caring for tomorrow and survived in harsh conditions, far from their motherly snow. The thrump of their steps is likened to the sound of thunder, and their dedication to their gods is emphasized. The Vikings are portrayed as having conquered Normandy by fire and sword, having given their name to the country that they had won through strength and brutality.
The lyrics suggest that the Vikings instilled fear in the hearts of those who opposed them, with no one daring to meet their eyes for fear of certain death. The song also emphasizes the resilience of the Vikings, who, despite being faced with battles full of lights and centuries of challenges, never succumb to corruption. For the Vikings, fighting was the ultimate reason to live, giving their lives a real meaning.
Overall, "Normannia" is an epic tribute to the Vikings, emphasizing their fierce and brutal nature, their unwavering faith in their gods, and their resilience in the face of adversity.
